Zinc-free hydraulic oils for severe duty Shell Tellus Oils S are ‘top-tier’, anti-wear hydraulic oils formulated to be the ultimate ‘high reference oil’ in the hydraulics industry. Based on advanced ‘zinc and chlorine free’ technology, Shell Tellus Oils S are formulated to ensure exceptional performance in hydraulic fluid power transmission systems subjected to severe duty. Performance Features
• Outstanding oil life Typically two to four times that of many anti-wear hydraulic oils. • Peace of mind Through longer component life and outstanding operation. • Lower ecological impact Zinc and chlorine free formulations unique to Shell. Many piston pumps utilise brass components and in particular brass slippers which fit onto the heads of steel pistons and slide on a steel surface. These bronze slippers are usually the items of wear and an oil’s performance is normally evaluated by the weight loss of bronze and the loosening of the fit on the pistons, referred to as ‘slipper fit’. Many anti-wear hydraulic oils permit either considerable wear, if the pumps are highly loaded, or in extreme cases result in pump failure by the slippers detaching themselves from the pistons. Shell Tellus Oils S give extremely low wear rates of the brass components in the Denison P-46 pump; the most severe standard industry test for this performance aspect. FZG gear rig test • Gear rig tests are sometimes used for evaluating hydraulic oils and the best known is the FZG rig (Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebebau – Technical Institute for the study of Gears and Drive Mechanisms). The rig utilises a pair of specially designed case-hardened spur gears and, for hydraulic oils, it is run at a pitch line velocity of 8.3 m/s, with an oil temperature of 90°C. The test is carried out by running the gears for 15 minutes in the test oil the weighing the gears, after which the machine is reassembled and the load increased. This procedure is carried out until at least 10mg weight loss is recorded between the stages, or until the gears appear scuffed. Shell Tellus Oil S achieves an 10th Fail stage. Thermal stability • An oil’s thermal stability is the measure of its ability to resist degradation and attack of metals at high temperature. An accelerated test for this is to maintain the oil at a temperature of 135°C for one week in the presence of steel and copper. • Tests with Shell Tellus Oils S show negligible weight changes of the metals, whilst the steel remains bright and there is only slight discolouration of the copper; many anti-wear hydraulic oils cause the copper to become black. Hydrolytic stability • Hydrolytic stability indicates the extent to which an oil tends to develop acidity in the presence of copper and water at high temperatures. The test for hydrolytic stability not only evaluates the acidity developed in the water present, and is also regarded as giving an indication of an oil’s suitability for use with copper alloy parts. It is a stringent test in which many good anti-wear hydraulic oils perform poorly, but in which Shell Tellus Oils S give outstanding results. • In the hydrolytic stability test, oil, water and copper are sealed in a bottle and rotated for 48 hours in an oven at 93°C. At the end of the test, the oil and water layers are separated and the insolubles weighed. The change in weight of the copper is also measured and the oil viscosity and acid numbers of both the oil and the water are determined. • Results of the tests with Shell Tellus Oils S are excellent. They show negligible copper weight loss and very small changes in acid values of oil and water.

Additional Information
Oil seal and paint compatibility The compatibility of an oil with seals used in hydraulic systems can be evaluated by numerous tests usually relating to the ‘swell’ characteristics. The properties of the base oil mainly influence oil seal and paint compatibility, whilst additives have little effect. Shell Tellus Oils S are compatible with all seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oils.

Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 and 68 are environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids based on synthetic esters and can be used where ISO 15380 or VDMA 24568 HEES fluids are specified. Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 meets the environmental requirements of Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 and are SP-Listed. Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 and 68 are on the ‘Positivliste’ and qualify for funding under the German ‘Marketing Introduction Programme’ for biolubricants. Shell Naturelle HF-E has Eaton Vickers M-2950 S and I-286 S approval. The improved anti-wear properties, and naturally high viscosity index (VI) of Naturelle Fluids HF-E, means that they can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90°C and optimum fluid life will be realised if operating temperatures are maintained at approximately 55°C.

Compatibility and Miscibility

Shell Naturelle HF-E is miscible with conventional mineral oil based hydraulic oils in all proportions. However, in order to ensure that the environmental properties and performance are maintained, the system should be drained and flushed prior to change over to Shell Naturelle HF-E. Owing to the surface wetting properties of Shell Naturelle HF-E, if systems were previously operated using a mineral oil hydraulic fluid, deposits formed in the system during operation may be loosened and deposited in system filters. The filters should therefore be checked at regular intervals after fluid changeover.

Seal and Paint Compatibility

Shell Naturelle HF-E is compatible with all seal materials and paints normally specified for use with petroleum mineral oils. Certain plastics and industrial adhesives may be adversely affected and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.

Compatibility and Miscibility
Lubrication and component Life In general, water-glycol fluids are less effective bearing lubricants than petroleum mineral hydraulic oils, but are entirely satisfactory in systems containing pumps with plain bearings or lightly loaded ball and roller bearings. However, in common with other water-based fluids a reduction in bearing life can be expected. This will normally be included in the ‘derating’ made by the pump manufacturer. In order to increase as much as possible the reliability of the system and reduce its maintenance costs is important that all components are checked with their manufacturer on whether they are suitable/ compatible with water glycol products.

Applications

Additional Information
Control of water content Water content should be controlled within 35% to 45% by weight. Condensate or de-ionized water should be used for any additions, which should be made slowly whilst the fluid is circulating. Conversion from other typ of fluids Specific attention should be given in case of converting to Shell Irus Fluid C systems that were previously using lubricants of different types than ISO HFC (e.g. mineral oils or ISO HFDU type of products). In such a case it is suggested you seek advice from your Shell Representative about the change over procedure you should follow.

Shell Irus Fluid C is particularly suitable for demanding hydraulic applications where there is a high fire risk, such as those found in the Mining and Metal Processing industries. In order to reduce the water evaporation Shell Irus Fluid C, as for all the ISO HFC type of fluids, should be used below 55°C with a suggested maximum temperature of 45°C.

Advanced synthetic lubricant for reciprocating air compressors Shell Corena Oil AP is an advanced reciprocating air compressor lubricant and is based on specially selected synthetic ester fluids. It incorporates the latest additive technology to provide outstanding performance. Performance Features
• Outstanding performance Developed specifically for heavy duty reciprocating air compressors. This includes reciprocating air compressors subjected to overloading, intermittent or continuous operation. Shell Corena Oil AP is designed to provide safe, reliable and effective lubrication for extended service periods where mineral compressor lubricants are unsatisfactory. • Extended service intervals The extreme low tendency for deposit build-up ensures continued high compressor performance over long periods. It enables the normal valve maintenance period, typically between 250 and 1000 hours of operation using conventional mineral oils, to be extended to 2000, or even 4000 hours. • Safety for air lines The absence of deposit formation has a very important safety-related benefit. In discharge air-lines, the combination of rust particles, dispersed in carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat from recently compressed air, can cause an exothermic reaction leading to the possibility of fires and explosion. Shell Corena Oil AP helps to minimise the likelihood of this danger arising. • Excellent rusting and wear protection Effectively protects all metal surfaces from corrosion. Protects all sensitive machinery parts, e.g. gears, screws, bearings, from wear to help and prolong the service intervals. • Excellent oxidation resistance Resistant to the formation of carbon deposits and lacquer on valves and piston crowns, caused by the by-products of corrosion such as ferric oxides and hydroxides, at high working temperatures and pressures. Such deposits can cause serious damage, lower compressor efficiency and increase maintenance costs. • Excellent water separation properties Separates readily from water preventing accelerated corrosion and facilitating separation from condensate.

Applications

Compressors can be kept in service for much longer periods, operating at a consistently high level of efficiency. • Safety for air lines In discharge air-lines, the combination of rust particles, dispersed in carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat from recently compressed air, can cause an exothermic reaction leading to the possibility of fires and explosion. Shell Corena Oil P helps to minimise the likelihood of this danger arising. • Very good oxidation resistance Resistant to the formation of carbon deposits and lacquer on valves and piston crowns, caused by the by-products of corrosion, such as ferric oxides and hydroxides, at high working temperatures and pressures. Such deposits can cause serious damage, lower compressor efficiency and increase maintenance costs. • Very good rusting and wear protection Effectively protects all metal surfaces from corrosion. Protects all sensitive machinery parts, e.g. housings, valves, bearings, from wear to help prolong the service intervals. • Very good air release and anti-foam properties The careful choice of additives ensures rapid air release without excessive foaming. • Very good water separation properties Shell Corena Oil P separates readily from water allowing excess water to be drained from the oil circulation system, thus preventing accelerated corrosion and a reduction in lubrication efficiency. This also helps to separate oil from condensate in oil/water separators and drier units.

Applications
• Reciprocating air compressors Industrial reciprocating air compressors operating with air discharge temperatures of up to 220°C. • Breathing air compressors Shell Corena Oil P may be used in breathing air compressors, provided subsidiary clean-up apparatus is used to ensure that the air produced is fit for breathing.

To keep circulating oil as free as possible of abrasive particles. use proper ventilation to keep the breathing zone concentration of oil mist below the recommended maximum concentration in air of 5mg per cubic metre of air. 2. PROTECT the skin by using suitable clothing and barrier creams.Storage and Handling of lubricants
Special oils and compounds
The types of oil which have been associated overseas with skin disorders appear to be those which have been lightly refined and which contain relatively more polynuclear aromatic compounds. Protective clothing should be cleaned at regular intervals to remove oil. 4.
A1. Skin contaminated with oil should be cleaned with mild soap or suitable hand cleansers at regular intervals. CLEAN the skin thoroughly if contaminated with oil. it is necessary to give more rigorous attention to adequate laundering and regular changes of clothing and underclothing. 3. and abrasive skin cleansers should be avoided as these themselves can cause skin irritation. Where contamination with mineral oils occurs regularly at work. these should be changed at regular intervals to minimise contamination with abrasive metal particles or bacteria. wear protective gloves and aprons and suitable outer overalls. for example when using soluble cutting oils with high-speed machinery. Where cutting oils are used. kerosene. wear goggles or face visors. To avoid soiling of clean clothing. trichloroethane and similar fluids should not be used for cleaning oil off the skin.
Care of the skin
Where any sign of irritation or rash appears on the skin.
Cleansing the skin
Oil should not be left on the skin for any prolonged period of time. It is most important to avoid wearing oil-soaked clothing. Particular care should be taken in these cases. When working regularly with mineral oils follow these simple rules: 1. WEAR clean intact clothes. particularly if mineral oils are used every day at work. Minimise mist and vapour generation.3

. The natural protective barrier can be replaced to a certain extent by using a good barrier cream before work and a good hydrophilic skin cream containing lanoline or vegetable oils after finally washing the hands at the end of the work period. If this cannot be done. and particularly at the end of a working day. REDUCE skin contamination by mineral oils to the minimum and avoid breathing their mists or vapours. Strong soaps and detergents. 5.
Barrier and restorative creams
The natural oils in the skin which form a protective barrier are often removed by the regular washing needed in industry. CARE for the skin properly. A system of regular and frequent changing and cleaning of all protective clothing is the best safeguard. contaminated clothing should be stored separately from street clothing. Solvents such as petrol. Gloves can become contaminated on the inside and when worn again they bring the skin into close and repeated contact with oil. medical attention should be sought at the earliest opportunity. Oils of this type are used in rubber processing. filter and sumps should be regularly inspected and cleaned out. Where soluble oil concentrates are used. and hands should be cleaned with disposable wipes which should not be kept in overall or trouser pockets after use.
Avoiding contact with mineral oils
Contact with mineral oils should be kept to a minimum by using effective splash guards and correct work methods. Good maintenance should be practised so as to avoid oil-soaked floors or benches.
